2 Actually, I’m too stupid to be human,
a man without understanding.
3 I haven’t learned wisdom,
nor do I have knowledge of the holy one.
4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind by the handful?
Who has bound up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is this person’s name and the name of this person’s child—
if you know it?
Proverbs 30:21-23
New American Standard Bible
21 Under three things the earth quakes,
And under four, it cannot endure:
22 Under a (A)slave when he becomes king,
And a fool when he is satisfied with food,
23 Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband,
And a female servant when she dispossesses her mistress.
Proverbs 30:21-23
Common English Bible
21 At three things the earth trembles,
at four it can’t bear up:
22 at a servant when he becomes king
and fools when they are full of food;
23 at a detested woman when she gets married
and a female servant when she replaces her mistress.
Proverbs 30:29-33
New American Standard Bible
29 There are three things which are stately in their march,
Even four which are stately when they walk:
30 The lion, which is (A)mighty among animals
And does not [a](B)retreat from anything,
31 The [b]strutting rooster or the male goat,
And a king when his army is with him.
32 If you have been foolish in exalting yourself,
Or if you have plotted evil, (C)put your hand on your mouth.
33 For the [c]churning of milk produces butter,
And pressing the nose produces blood;
So the [d]churning of (D)anger produces strife.

Proverbs 30:29-33
Common English Bible
29 There are three things that are excellent in their stride,
four that are excellent as they walk:
30 a lion, a warrior among beasts,
which doesn’t back down at anything;
31 the strut of a rooster or a male goat;
and a king with his army.
32 If you’ve been foolish and arrogant,
if you’ve been scheming,
put your hand to your mouth,
33 because churning milk makes curds,
squeezing the nose brings blood,
and stirring up anger produces strife.
